Thanks for posting this Frick. I told u that u are welcome to give it a run tonight....

NEIGHT, no I didn't get banned, I just can't figure out how to upload pics from my droid to photobucket.

Thanks for the compliment, this coupe isn't going anywhere just because I own a GM car too. I can't wait to launch it tonight @5500 rpms, I will see how well my injured trans holds up, but oh well might as well take it out with a bang LOL!!! I will post up my times later tonight...

Photobucket has a driod app that uploads automatically.

Looking Clean! Them 17 inch skinnies look good on there. They are worth at least a tenth with the weight savings.

Even with the heat, 12.59 E.T is what you should shoot for tonight [patriot]

Or just go to the pic you want to upload and press menu option button and go to share and look for photobucket if you have downloaded the app already .

Thanks Streakmatt for letting me run your skinnies & thanks to Purple Coupe for the slicks...

Cstang, I'mnot 100% sure, but I think the rears are 26X10?

Trickflow211, I should be up there by 7:00 at the latest.

StrokHer, yes you can run Full slicks on wednesdays..


Sorry for the blurry pics, these were shot with a camera phone.

Best pass of the night for Dustin was 12.58 @ 107.2.
He ran a string of 12.61-12.68's all night. I kept telling him he was short shifting it. He said the tach was at 6k when he shifted. I told him the tach was probably way off and to shift it up around 6500 on his tach. He gained a tenth and ran his best time when he tried. His tach is probably off by 400-500. RPM's. He wants to get back out there and try again.
 
Posted by Pure Stang (Member # 7251) on :
 
Good job! What where the 60's
 
Posted by StreakMatt (Member # 6257) on :
 
Since the tach was off he kept bogging it too. 60's were from 1.75-1.80's all night.

Had fun tonight. Thanks Matt & Zack for all the help. I had no idea all these years that I've bee shortshifting this thing LOL. Next wednesday Im launching @6500 & shifting at about 6650, & I'm gonna run faster guaranteed!!!! 12.58 @107.5 isnt bad for short shifting though, just shows you this lil junk setup has more in it LOL... & yes I know my reaction time is terrible, but I'm not racing anyone at this point just trying to get comfortable & consistent with my launches for now.

what mods do you have on your coupe EPIK if you dont mind sharing ...good numbers though, just run it a lil harder next time and im sure she will give better faster times... [patriot]

Yeah, I need to shift higher. For the 3 years I have had a 5 speed & H/C/I swapped in here, I had no idea my tach was 500rpm off...


Here is my BASIC combo....

Stock 302 bottom end, Edelbrock 2.02/1.60 aluminum heads, Edelbrock RPM2 manifold, FRPP E cam, BBK 70mm throttle body, Mac longtube headers, Mac o/r h, Magnaflow catback, underdrive pullies, 24# injectors, 190lph fuel pump, C&L 73mm mass air meter. etc.etc.etc.... Pretty basic combo & it made 300 rwhp/320 rwtq untuned...

Driveline is a centerforce clutch, & 3.73 gears.

Suspension is stock besides Bilstein HD's, MM 325# front coilovers, & sportline rear springs, all of which hurt weight transfer.

Nice runs Dustin! Put a small shift light in the car and forget about guessingwith the factory tach.
